A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, Kenneth Okonkwo, has faulted President Bola Tinubu’s decision to proceed with a state visit to the United Kingdom in the wake of deadly terrorist bombings in Maiduguri, Borno State.
Okonkwo described the trip as an act of disrespect to the victims and soldiers killed in the attacks.
The opposition chieftain made the remarks during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, accusing the president of dancing on the graves of fallen Nigerians by embarking on the London visit despite the coordinated suicide bombings that tore through a busy market and other areas of Maiduguri on Monday, killing at least 23 people and leaving over 100 others injured.
“It’s about telling the world that you prefer to respect the blood of your martyrs to riding on their blood and dancing on their graves in the United Kingdom. That red carpet there is the blood of the martyrs that Tinubu is treading upon. He should have cancelled it,.For more, Re’ad; Com’plete O’rigina’l.
